Frederick County, Virginia – Police have arrested and charged a North Virginia man who admitted to stabbing his dog. As reported by Fox 5 News, 34-year-old Erfan Behnam, of Reston, was covered in blood and dog hair when the authorities encountered him last Thursday around 2 a.m. in the 7900 block of Hollow Road.
Responding deputies found a deceased, bloodied dog with 14 stab wounds in a grassy area not far from Behnam’s car. The man told deputies that the dog had “jumped” from his car and he needed to “put the dog down.” Behnam was inconsistent with his stories about what had happened and why he believed the dog needed to be “put down.”
The dog’s body was taken by animal control. Behnam is facing a felony animal cruelty charge.
Anyone with further information about this situation is asked to contact Frederick County Sheriff’s Office at 301-600-1046 or the FCSO tip line at 301-600-4131.

Need to bring back Public HANGING!!!! Get rid of Crazy People!!!
Another one STERELIZE him asap
This man is a psychopath and dangerous to all. He must never own any animals for life after he serves prison time. Of course a dog will jump from the car when the door is opened.
A garbage piece of shit. Stab this garbage as he did that poor pup. Then toss his bloody ass on the side of the road . I truly hate what humans do to pets . Someone should publish a flyer with pictures of every sick animal abuser and pass it out in every town.
That Evil POS needs to die a horrible death! At least put him in the most decrepit jail you can find.
I Thank Everyone here that has put down how I feel…this nasty POS needs to be gone

That piece of human garbage is the one who needs to be put down. It’s time to start permanently removing the human scum of the earth. The planet will be much better off.
This piece of garbage needs to be “put down”. The dog was likely just wanting away from the monster. Bless that innocent pup who sadly crossed paths with this creep and never had the life he deserved.
To take a life, be it human or any sentient being, is murder. This pos doesn’t deserve to see the light of day again.

This cretin’s disturbing actions prove he is a danger to society. What this poor dog experienced was horrific.
Behnam needs to be held accountable for his ruthless killing of his pet, and receive the maximum penalty for his heinous actions.
His Felony charge for this crime proves authorities see him as a danger to both animals and people.
Behnam deserves a maximum prison sentence.

If only we had the option to put him down! He killed that dog in anger for whatever reason! He’s a lying piece of 💩 & to rot in hell. You need to penalize him and put him in prison. He does not need to be out in public ! Demonic bastard!!
I agree put the piece of crap down slowly make him suffer
His bitch ass needs to be euthanized. Don’t waste tax dollars on him. He’s not worth it. Just put him down and be done with it.
